DA Form 2408-4…
Weapon
Card Goes
Cyberspace
S
o you’ve just returned from the range.
That means it’s time to update your DA
Form 2408-4,
Weapon Record Data Card.
Since the only way to determine gun
tube life is to keep track of the number
and types of rounds fired, the form’s
important.
So time to grab your stubby pencil, fill
out the form and mail it in, right?
Now, with the help
of the Army Electronic
Product Support (AEPS)
website, the DA Form
2408-4 has entered the
21st Century. The new
on-line system allows
armor, artillery and
mortar units to input
firing and non-firing
data directly into an
electronic version of
the 2408-4.
Questions?
Here’s
who to
contact…
I guess
my days are
numbered!
right!
whaddya
mean
‘wrong’!?
And it’s
easy
for a unit to
research the
firing history
of any
particular
gun.
these days
you’re
no place
unless you’re in
cyberspace!!
The electronic 2408-4 is now
the
required medium
for report-
ing firing and non-firing data.
This is important for your safety.
All current tank, artillery and
mortar weapons firing data has
already been entered into the
system, so all you have to do is
print out a current card to take to
the range with you. Then, when
you return from the field, update
the system on-line just like you
currently do with the paper card.
Go to the AEPS website at
If you don’t already have a user name and
password, click on Access Request Form
and follow the directions.
After you get a user name and password,
click on Enter AEPS. Select the Gun Card Firing
Data button under Popular Applications. Next,
click on Edit/View/Print in the left-hand col-
umn and follow the instructions for accessing
the card for your gun tube.
Deployed units
who
do not
have web access
should mail
in the DA Form
2408-4 so the
data can be
entered into the
system for you.

…then follow

to…
The new
system
means
no
more
lost
cards!
